Emperor Time — VERIFY / review / critique. Claim audit, eight-count self-critique, isolated hetero-critique, request-review HARD-GATE, receive-review HARD-GATE, verification-before-completion / evidence HARD-GATE, claim-audit HARD-GATE, critique eight-count HARD-GATE, verdict/breach HARD-GATE (G5), mechanical G4/G5. Use when reviewing a diff, requesting code review, claiming tests pass, saying done / fixed / green, or before commit/PR/deliver/merge.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Emperor Verify (Judgment wrapper)

## MUST — critique eight-count HARD-GATE before G4

Before opening G4, run `scripts/emperor critique <task-dir>` (or
`self-critique`). Doctrine: `chains/judgment-chain/self-critique.md`.
Missing axes / empty Checked cells / critique-file-present theater → exit 1.
G4 calls `scripts/lib/critique.py`; a critique file alone is theater.

## MUST — claim-audit HARD-GATE before G4

Before opening G4, run `scripts/emperor claim-audit <task-dir>` (or
`judgment-audit`). Doctrine: `chains/judgment-chain/claim-audit.md`.
Missing CLAIM AUDIT line / unfinished HYPOTHESIS|TESTED → exit 1.
G4 calls `scripts/lib/claim_audit.py`; a critique file alone is theater.

## MUST — request-review checklist first

Before merge to main, after a major feature, and after each subagent-driven
task, open `skills/emperor-verify/request-review-checklist.md`
(Chain Jail leaf from Superpowers `requesting-code-review` → When / How /
Act-on-feedback only)
and/or run `scripts/emperor review` (prints the mechanical REVIEW / STEP / MUST
card).

No author self-review in place of dispatch. Do not load whole
`requesting-code-review`; ET + emperor-verify orchestrate.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add arbi-elezi/emperor-time/emperor-verify@sha256:2d7611ef31b8840e

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.4.27, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
